It was unclear if this could not cause linking problem because it was
the very information used for linking that was trashed. In doubt, one
should start with binaries without this problem first. Firefox and
browsers in general are so huge and depend on so many things, and link
against so many external libraries, that a fault that can cause
problem in only very improbable cases is not improbable with
binaries that link against anything, including the kitchen sink.
